THE EFFECTS OF HYPOPHYSECTOMY AND BOVINE PROLACTIN ON SALT FLUXES IN FRESH-WATER-ADAPTED FUNDULUS HETEROCLITUS

Hypophysectomized Fundulus in fresh water lost sodium several times as rapidly as normal fish. The greater part of the loss takes place extrarenally. Prolactin reduces the loss almost to normal levels, thus prolonging survival. The possible functions of prolactin in osmoregulation in normal fish are discussed.
